The workshop will provide
the perfect forum for an open discussion and debate between the relevant
parties on possible solutions to the current constraints confronting
the international development community in the design, establishment
and delivery of economically viable and sustainable market-driven agribusiness
development initiatives.

Drawing upon a unique set of innovative USAID
and World Bank agribusiness projects that are currently
operating across Asia, North Africa, and the Middle East, this forum
will allow USAID
and World Bank Mission personnel, public and private industry
leaders and academics to freely interact and exchange ideas, lessons
learned,
and best practices. In addition to discussing successes
and failures from projects present and past, the meeting will also attempt
to actually
launch new pilots.
